Many think of it as 'sticking.' implantation in humans always occurs when the embryo is between 6-7 days old. A very popular concept on the internet now in 2012, 'implantation bleeding, ' is speculative and mostly not useful.

I'd ignore it:
Implantation bleeding' is subtle and unpredictable, if it can be interpreted at all. Internet buzz vastly over-emphasizes the idea of 'implantation bleeding' and how useful a predictor it is. If it did happen it absolutely could not be before 7 dpo.

Likely breakthrough:
It's almost never implantation bleeding, that is largely an internet myth. If - a big if - you actually get implantation bleed it would be about 7 days after ovulation, or about a week before your expected period.

I'd ignore it:
'implantation bleeding' is subtle and unpredictable, if it can be interpreted at all. Internet gossip over-emphasizes the idea of 'implantation bleeding.' Implantation begins 6-7 days after fertilization, so that's the only time you would see it.

Sorry, can't say...:
"implantation bleeding" is not a reliable sign of pregnancy, mostly internet nonsense (sorry!) first question: are you even pregnant? Way to answer: do a hpt. If +, then can try to figure dates, good luck.
